YOU ARE THE MAN!!!!!!

I want to be like Chain. When opened up this thread, I was shocked. How could one person go throught sooooooooooo many bikes in one lifetime. It seems you get to test ride every bike that made.

Seriously, congrats, AGAIN, on your new ride. I cannot wait for your many threads to tell us about your new ride.

Enjoy...

Congrats dude! I know that is the bike you always wanted and its awesome that you got it. I felt the same way when I got my RC. I lusted after that bike since I saw it, and rode a few buddy's bikes and only fanned the flame. Enjoy it and ride the wheels off of it. One consideration though is to make sure this is the bike you want for a long time (which I have no doubts it is). Right now Im trying to sell a 929 with 34K miles on it, and it isnt easy....

While it shouldn't be that surprising, I must say that this definately caught me by surprise.

Red Rider · 08-22-2004, 10:46 PM

Congrats Chain! The bike looks sweet, especially 'cuz it's red!

Have fun, but be careful...a 'Busa can bite with all that power.

Pretty bike. Good luck with it and remember to keep your brain wired to your right wrist.

Antinomianist · 08-22-2004, 11:08 PM

Congradulations, Chain!

All right everybody, are we ready to start the pool on when he gets a different bike? I got 60 days.

Chain: "Well, I found this really good deal on a truckload of Grape Nuts. My buddy from the motorcycle dealership hooked me up with the local distributor."

Chain (after sleeping on the couch for two nights straight): "Uh, honey, I've been thinking. I really want us to have a spectacular wedding. My friend Conq says I should trade in my two motorcycles and get just one. I kind of think Grape Nuts taste like gravel too. So, how do you feel about... tomatoes?"

Would have loved to be a fly on the wall when that conversation was brewing

Hey, April Fools is in... err April, not August.

Shame, you guys changes bike as frequently as I do underwear.... Geez, okay, you change even faster.

Good luck keeping from getting a ticket, even if you get to say "We're both police officers."

GhostRider · 08-23-2004, 12:11 AM

Well its about time you got a Suzie...

I agree with you 100%...keep it stock and just ride it.
That is a nice bike (not as nice as mine of course

) and you got it in the faster red colour.

Congrats!!!

TGZ13 · 08-23-2004, 12:13 AM

Red is the fastest color

Cowboy1600 · 08-23-2004, 1:55 AM

Zop · 08-23-2004, 4:05 AM

Newbie much surprised at appearance of red 'busa, but happy to congratulate you on a bike you should enjoy RIDING

and I thought his muffler addiction was bad

congrats on the new bike

l'timbré · 08-23-2004, 9:02 AM

Féliciation on the new ride, one day I will have a fast bike like that in the stable for trips with the wife and hooligan fun on sunday mornings.

It can get pretty funny to hear all of these bike swaps, when one has to own only one bike and finds it expensive. Most of the guys that really enjoy RIDING bikes can only afford to be economical about it since it is so expensive.

The fun we have is ridding weels the nicer the weels the better, you chose depending on how you ride. It is really good that you feel comfy with THIS ONE and you wana ride it more. If you have a bike and ride it as much as you can, then you are a motocyclist, if you swith all the time and bearly ride then you are buying a tool for bling points and chain on you I mean shame on you!

Hope THIS BIKE addicts you so much that you start loving to ride it is so much fun, nomatter what you ride.

Congrats on THE bike

Didn't see that coming. The future Mrs.Chain should be grateful that you're more attached to the people in your life than your bikes.

Have fun, and be careful of that thang. I recall that some of the bigger guys who own 'busas have occasionally scraped the fairing lower while heeled over. Make sure it's set up for your weight.

And congratulations. Did I say, be careful?

929flyer took me to the new dealership in Omaha Wednesday to check things out. I saw a silver 636 with a sign saying "Like New Just Broken In" and I just started
